Online Health Sign-up for High School Students
If you are in need of completing your high school health credit, the Spring 2 session of online Health begins March 19. If you would like to be enrolled in this class, you must fill out the form at this link by Friday March 9 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?fromEmail=true&formkey=dEJZNUFJWENFaTBlYW83cHBnNzdxcmc6MQ. You will be charged an extra $350 on your tuition bill for this class if you are not enrolled in a study hall, early dismissal or late arrival for the 2017-2018 school year. If you took Health in 8th grade here at Faith or have taken Health at Las Vegas Day School, Adelson, Cornerstone, Alexander Dawson or The Meadows in 7th or 8th grade, your high school Health requirement is already complete and you do not need this class. I’m sorry but CCSD middle school Health is not cleared to count for high school credit by the state. Contact Dan Buikema at buikemad@flhsemail.org if you have any questions. (3/9)

COMMUNITY CRUSADER SERVICE HOURS OPPORTUNITY:
CornerStone Christian Academy's 5K / 1 fundraiser is on March 10, 2013 at Bruce Trent park and they are looking for volunteers. The event day will open at 8 am. The 5K will begin at 9 am and the 1 mile walk will begin at 9:15 am. All finishers should be done by 10:30 am. Around 10:30 am we will begin our award ceremony (the 5k is timed and we have finisher medals) and the raffling of the class baskets.
We need 16-20 volunteers on the course directing the flow of the run and the water station. We would also love to have some entertainment on the course around the water station.

Accessing PSAT Scores
All the PSAT scores from the exam taken in October are now available. The breakdown of each section, including the correct answers as well as a personalized study plan from Khan Academy can be found on your College Board account at collegeboard.org. If you have not yet, you will need to create a College Board account in order to see your scores. The directions are below. Please, please, please...if you have already created an account do not create another, as this will severely complicate all dealings with College Board in the future, from SAT's to AP's to eventually sending scores to colleges. If you can't remember if you already have an account, please go through the "forgot my password" or "forgot my username" process to be certain. Any issues with accounts need to be directed to College Board rather than Faith Lutheran. Paper copies of scores will not be distributed as College Board no longer sends paper scores, however there will be test score interpretation assemblies during advisories in January for further information and to answer any questions.
- Go to collegeboard.org
- Click “Sign Up”
- Go through the process of creating an account
- When done, sign in with your new username and password
- Click “PSAT 8/9”
- If your scores do not appear, click “Add Scores”
- You may be asked to enter your password again
- You may be asked to update/double check all your information
- Click “Update”
- Scores should now be viewable

DEVOTIONAL
Use Words Befitting a Christian
The lips of the righteous know what is fitting. Proverbs 10:32
When George H. W. Bush was running for President of the United States in 1988, he admitted he’d made an inappropriate remark about American journalist Dan Rather and White House correspondent Lesley Stahl after an on-air confrontation. Bush referred to Rather in an unprintable term, and also took God’s name in vain in speaking about the Columbia Broadcasting System. When confronted, he said, ‘If I’d known the microphone was on I wouldn’t have taken the Lord’s name in vain, and I apologize for that.’ The fact is, he shouldn’t have said it whether the tape was running or not. Remember, God’s tape is always running! The Bible says, ‘A man’s ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all his paths’ (Proverbs 5:21). Centuries ago Jesus declared: ‘There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs’ (Luke 12:2-3). Take a moment and consider these two Scriptures: ‘The heart of the righteous weighs its answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil’ (Proverbs 15:28). ‘The lips of the righteous know what is fitting, but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse’ (Proverbs 10:32). The first Scripture tells you that a wise person will think before he or she speaks, because they realize every word has a consequence. The second Scripture tells you that a righteous person automatically knows what’s acceptable, and keeps in mind the fact that God hears every word.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me keep my words in check and not to say anything that is not reflective of being a Christian. Forgive me for the times when I have. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
